Ayo Edebiri and Julia Roberts Face Off in Tense 'After The Hunt' Trailer

Luca Guadagnino is so back. The Oscar-nominated director's new film, After the Hunt, will officially be released this October. The film is written by first-time screenwriter Nora Garrett and stars Julia Roberts, Ayo Edebiri, and Andrew Garfield. Here's everything we know about the forthcoming psychological drama. The film follows a college professor (Julia Roberts) who gets caught in the middle of a campus scandal after her student (Ayo Edebiri) accuses one of her colleagues (Andrew Garfield) of 'crossing the line.' Per IndieWire, on an episode of the podcast WTF with Marc Maron, Guadagnino shared that After The Hunt is one of his 'very rare' films that isn't about 'sexuality or love.' 'It's a very timely movie for where we are now,' he said, 'in terms of the society and the division in society and the extreme positions that we can have vis-a-vis an opinion in a way. It's about what happens in the milieu of academia between younger and older people and the idea of consent. I can tell you that it's very loaded. I can tell you that the movie is very provocative, but not in a stupid way, but I would say in a very articulate way.' He also added that this is Roberts's 'best performance' of her career. In another interview, Guadagnino also spoke about how much he enjoyed working with Edebiri. 'Ayo is a movie star in the real sense of bigness, and cinema, and excitement,' he told W. 'She has a commitment toward performance that you rarely find now. She absolutely commands your gaze. She's funny and she's extremely beautiful—and that is a very rare combination.' In addition to Roberts, Edebiri, and Garfield, Michael Stuhlbarg and Chloë Sevigny round out the cast. In an interview with Deadline at this year's CinemaCon, Garfield revealed what it was like to work with Guadagnino for the first time. 'What was exciting and surprising about being with Luca on set was how loose he is, how relaxed he is, how spontaneous, in the moment, and totally focused [he is] when he needs to be,' he said. 'He seems to be allowing the day, the scene, and the moment to be found. And he's such a precise filmmaker, simultaneously.' Edebiri echoed those sentiments. She said that filming with Guadagnino was a 'mix of complete openness and specificity of vision.' She continued, 'As an actor that fosters you to come up with so many things and understandings of your character.' Yes! On July 16, Amazon MGM Studios released the official trailer. The film will be released in theaters in New York and Los Angeles on October 10 and will open nationwide on October 17. This story will be updated.

‘Geek Girl' Season 2 Casts Layton Williams & Rolls Cameras

Layton Williams has joined the cast of Netflix's Geek Girl as cameras roll on Season 2. The Olivier Award-winning actor, who is best known on the screen for roles in Bad Education and Everybody's Talking about Jamie, will play Onassis in the hit YA series. Returning cast members include Em Carey, Emmanuel Imani, Liam Woodrum, Rochelle Harrington and Zac Looker, alongside Sarah Parish, Tim Downie, Jemima Rooper, and Hebe Beardshall. More from Deadline 'Geek Girl' Renewed For Season 2 By Netflix After Delay Jeremy Irvine, Rupert Everett, Nathan Stewart-Jarrett & Layton Williams Set For Dance Comedy 'The Light Fantastic' - AFM 'Geek Girl' Co-Producer Aircraft Pictures Buys Back Stake From Canada's Corus Williams is best known for stage performances in shows including Everybody's Talking About Jamie and Celine Dion musical Titanique, the latter of which won him an Olivier Award for Best Supporting Actor in a Musical earlier this year. He is starring in Chris Cottam's upcoming movie The Light Fantastic about a thirty-something gay firefighter who dreams of becoming a professional ballroom dancer. It took a fair while for Netflix to greenlight Geek Girl Season 2, mainly due to the financial struggles of its former Canadian producer Corus, but cameras have now rolled on the popular British-Canadian series in the UK. Based on the internationally bestselling novels by Holly Smale, Geek Girl follows socially awkward but endearing teenager Harriet Manners (Carey) as she's unexpectedly thrust into the fashion world — navigating runway chaos, mean girls and personal growth along the way. The half-hour series had made a strong case for renewal by spending four weeks in Netflix's Global Top 10 for English-language series, peaking at #2, reaching the Top 10 in 89 countries and amassing 28.1 million views in its first seven months of release. The solid performance, coupled with a pretty modest budget and positive reviews from critics, should've translated into a quick renewal were it not for Corus' struggles. Production has now switched to Canada's Boat Rocker alongside previous co-producer RubyRock Pictures. Smale is creator of the series with Jessica Ruston. Declan O'Dwyer (Miss Scarlet & The Duke) is director. EPs are showrunner Zoë Rocha and Robbie von Werz for RubyRock, along with Smale, Ruston, Jeff Norton, Declan O'Dwyer, and David Fortier, Ivan Schneeberg, Nick Nantell, and Jon Rutherford for Boat Rocker.
